For the second week in a row a Cincinnati Bengals player has been ejected.

Last week it was A.J. Green for fighting, today it was Vontaze Burfict for two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in a span of three plays in the first half at Tennessee.

The first penalty came when Burfict hit Titans running back DeMarco Murray well out of bounds. Two plays later, Burfict was flagged for making contact with an official, resulting in his ejection.

One play later the Titans upped their lead to 14-6 on a Murray 1-yard touchdown run with 508 left in the first half.

Burfict certainly will be facing a fine and could be looking at another suspension as a repeat offender.
